To prepare sugar snap peas for cooking, pull one tip off with your finger, remove the string from one side and pull the second tip off.

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

When oil is hot, add sugar snap peas and stir frequently for 5 minutes.

Sprinkle lemon zest and thyme over sugar snap peas and stir for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until sugar snap peas puff up and are crisp, yet tender.

Season with fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

Serve hot.
